UFO Sightings Return In Yardley Area

LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA —Look, up in the sky....it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a drone...It's a UFO.

After the Yardley area found its way onto a national database for UFO sightingsearlier this year, a woman whose family lives in Yardley told Patch Friday about seeing "an orange throbbing light below the clouds."

"After going through a list of this and that, it moved 1,000 feet away. I was able to take a picture," said the woman who wished to remain anonymous.

"I feel I need to share it," she said. "It was hovering under the clouds with no noise. It was 300 feet away. We turned around for five seconds and it was 1,000 feet away and disappeared."

The woman said the orb appeared by the softball fields across from the Lower Makefield Township police station.

"We think a police officer might have seen it," she said. "Someone else had to see it because it was Halloween."

The Lower Makefield Township Police Department told Patch Friday that it has not received any reports of UFO sightings since Halloween.

The Yardley area was mentioned in March in a self-reporting national database of UFO sightings, in which numerous ones came from Pennsylvania, including two reports also from Morrisville.

The Pentagon then released a 63-page report dismissing the notion that U.S. authorities covered up extraterrestrial life aboard unidentified flying objects. Despite that, more than 40 percent of Americans think UFOs are alien spacecraft from other planets or galaxies exist.

New Jersey has been dealing with a drone issue over the past week that started in the north and seems to be spreading across the state.
